Just my opinion, but it generally reflects back on a community how a moderator acts elsewhere, especially in a local subreddit. I don't see mods of cities in Canada or the US going on a trolling spree, and many of the users of their local subs probably would wonder why someone like that is managing their community.

That's just me. If a mod of my city was going around doing this, and was potentially going to be at meetups, I would shame him publicly as he shames those he trolls.

I mean, if he wants to post to subreddits that involve something you personally don't like, that's one thing. Sexual deviations, weird opinions, etc. But when you are actively shaming a woman for being a woman, using immature and misogynistic humour to get your point across, and being hateful I think people should care.

I'm a hypocrite- I read the posts. He's most definitely a misogynistic dick hole. In the future if he's going to a meet up I will probably think twice about going, I wouldn't want to go a know I'm being judged by someone like that.
ಠ_ಠ

I can't really speak if he has any psychological issues or not. Most likely undiagnosed, or untreated.

This extends a little further than just crazy. This is misogynistic, immature, hate filled trolling who in a way represents this community (even if you guys know he is crazy, or can't really do anything about it). You as a community need to tell this guy shit like this isn't acceptable.

There have been revolts in other subs where they basically forced the mod to step down. I understand the dilemma the users of this place are in, especially if you already know he is crazy. I sympathize with you all that you have to put up with someone like this as your mod, as it creates a negative atmosphere for the entire community.

Not un-diagnosed, he publicly admits to mental health issues now and then.

I sympathize with you all that you have to put up with someone like this as your mod, as it creates a negative atmosphere for the entire community

If it doesn't involve the community and it's not in the community, then it's not really creating a negative atmosphere in the community, until someone brings it in to carry out a vendetta against a single individual. So you're saying you sympathize for us because of a "negative atmosphere" that you are creating and bringing in here?

I'm NOT saying I agree with anything he's said in his posts (because I certainly don't), I just don't see what this has to do with Halifax.

Honestly, I came here and posted this because I would want someone to do the same in my own city sub if a mod was going around being like this.

You are right, that it doesn't directly involve the community, and isn't indicative of the people here. I am not judging you all on his merit. The thing is that he followed her to her GW post, posted shit there, and then made her a mod on another sub he mods feminazi.

I posted this here because he feels it's acceptable to shame people publicly, and I wanted to see how he liked it. This isn't a vendetta, I am in no way affiliated with any parties involved. What I saw was shitty behaviour, and I'm calling it out. If that's creating a negative atmosphere, then it's the reality of the situation.

It doesn't have anything to do with the City, or really the people of this subreddit. Yet because he is a mod here, it does have some bearing on this place. Maybe he acts like this to other female users here? I don't know, and wanted to see for myself what the users of Halifax thought of this.

OP was like "OMG when I google my reddit username...my reddit account comes up !!!" and he caller her out on the bullshit. It got harsh but instead of just ignoring it she went on the attack and then rolled over and played victim.

Weird thought here, but why are you bringing drama out of one thread into an unrelated Subreddit? Why don't you just let it fizzle out and die in said thread? What, should we go on a personal witch hunt for you because our mod said something you didn't like in a thread we weren't in?

Your predilection for reading through the post histories of people and then persistently attacking them for having an opinion or attitude that differs from yours is at least as reprehensible and disgusting as velkyr making fun of some girl's genitals. Please shut up and go away, thanks.

My predilection has nothing to do with this. That is a completely different issue, and is between me fighting with mensrights. It would make sense when one person is going up against a group of 30,000 people, to look through their post history to see if they are an enemy or not.

I would agree with you if I had done this in the past. Finding a user spreading hateful messages, then going to see where he mods, to post something like this in their sub. Thing is, go through my post history, this is the first time I have ever done anything like this. I am not going through all of your histories and attacking you. I don't care to. If you are going to make the assumption that this is my thing, at least check the context before making blanket statements. I did not conduct myself in an immature or hateful manner, so for you to compare my actions to his and claim they are reprehensible or disgusting shows your bias.

As for attacking, I have done nothing of the sort. I could have been equally a douche, dug up the information from his girlfriends facebook picture he posted, found out his facebook through hers, and went on some conquest to humiliate him. That isn't my cause. My cause was to see if the people in /r/halifax agree with his cause, or if they even are aware of it.

Like I stated above, I would give two shits if what he was doing was between two consenting adults. Maybe some girls out there like being shamed, like being dominated. Maybe he likes to masturbate to inanimate objects. That doesn't concern me. What concerns me is him being an asshole.

Seeing as the votes are split, and there are specifically 4 people are downvoting everything I put on here, I will assume that the people of Halifax don't necessarily support him, but support him over me, or on a personal basis feel I am attacking him, so support him (regardless if he is wrong or not).

Don't take this post as an indication of me staying or posting here past this. The vocal minority telling me to leave, how horrible I am for posting this, and defending him are not part of a community I would like to be part of.

A cursory glance at your post history showed me that not only are you lying when you say you have done "nothing of the sort," it is in fact all you do on reddit. At least as far back as I cared to continue reading. Even your language is inflammatory, "maybe he likes to masturbate to inanimate objects." It really only does your cause a disservice.

I don't think anyone here is defending velkyr, I think most of us don't really care what he posts in other subreddits. He's not a representative of our community, basically all he does is delete spam and manages, and he seems to do a decent job of that. I doubt anyone here is going to rise up in arms over some stupid comments he made on another subreddit.

I saw the post in advertisement box at the top, thought I'd see something funny, and didn't.

So I posted a highly sarcastic comment, and she replied in such a way that made me go "Oh... She can be trolled".

And no, not everyone that posts in GW are attention whores, but you know that there are some.

Now, I hate to be a stickler mod, but I'm going to ask you to keep the rest of this conversation out of /r/Halifax. If you like, you can continue VIA PM, or through another subreddit thread, or even create your own subreddit for the conversation. However, /r/Halifax is for local information, not this.
